Easter Afternoon

Easter ham with the fam. A nice way to end the day. (Yay, rhyming). Not having to cook, but still having a tasty meal? Score! Actually, I did bake a cheesecake. Mmm, yummy. My family dyed eggs. James and I had planned to do so, but the day got away from us yesterday, so we never got around to it. Shortly after we got there, Seth and Robyn "hid" them in the front yard. Then armed with a grocery bag and a toy bucket, the girls went on their very first egg hunt. For first-timers, they got the concept down really well.

Baby had to help:

Megan really got into it:

Cadence easily found the larger number of eggs (though Grandpa would point out ones whenever she couldn't find any):

Casualties of war. Cadence was so excited to go after one across the yard she didn't see the one right in front of her:

Showing off her booty:

When we attempted to take away the hard-boiled eggs, Cadence threw a fit. Since the plastic eggs had jellybeans inside, she wasn't willing to part with any eggs. Once Nana showed her what was inside the shell of the non-plastic ones, she wasn't so interested and contented herself with gobbling up jellybeans. The Easter eggs were quickly whipped up into hard-boiled eggs and served alongside the ham and potatoes. :-)
